They found the actual University of Alexandria.

"The team has found 13 individual lecture halls, or auditoria, that could have accommodated as many as 5,000 students, according to archeologist Zahi Hawass, president of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities."

Eeeeeeeeeeee! *ahems and shoves the Classics geek part of me back into the box*

That worked. Thanks!

No problem.

*squee* Ooooooh. Neat!

Although I was absolutely sure for a moment that this line actually read "...The researchers have found some pottery weasels and small artifacts..."

Heh. Those damned weasles. Getting into everything, they are.

Joy!

Did they find the library too???
(maybe I should get off my lazy bum and read the article...)

The library is currently thought to be under the water, along with the lighthouse. They aren't sure, though. (That's the last I heard about it, at least.)

That is so cool. So amazingly awesome...wow.

Wow. Your classic greek side is interesting. And so is the article!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The Classics geek side doesn't come out often because there aren't so many people who are interested.

Factoides and such as you were delivering hot and fresh make me wish I had actually gone to school.

I probably would have been an arrogant little sniget, though, so it's just as well. IF I go to school when I'm fourty, I won't be as much a pain in the ass as if I"d been 18.
